In RA yesterday an interest was expressed in visiting some of the potential members of the new Educational area on the SL grid. This list is a fair sample of our potential neighbors. None of the MOVE Team members has the time right now to lead tours, due to RL and SL teaching and meeting obligations (I have two meetings tomorrow. Others have 3.)
My suggestion is to visit singly (or at most 3 avatars at a time) and explore on your own. Look for how easy it is to find information and how good the teleport system, if any is. The sims, on the whole, will probably not be up to CDS standards on builds or landscaping, so PLEASE remember that education is their primary function. And that we would not see any other sim from CDS. I'll be interested in your experiences.
The main discussion of this opportunity is found here: https://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?t=9910
